"In a liquid modern life there are no permanent bonds, and any that we take up for a time must be tied loosely so that they can be untied again, as quickly and as effortlessly as possible, when circumstances change - as they surely will in our liquid modern society, over and over again."

-- Zygmunt Bauman

“Surely modesty never hurt any cause; and the confidence of man seems to me to be much like the wrath of man.”
“John was an extraordinary man. Our relationship has shaped much of my life. I have always loved him and never stopped loving him. Thatâ€™s why I want to tell the real story of the real John â€“ the infuriating, lovable, sometimes cruel, funny, talented and needy man who made such an impact on the world. John believed in the truth and he would want nothing less.”
